Turkey Flat has more than 25 years experience in making Grenache. This older variety for South Australia has a natural home in the Barossa, although respect for the variety as a maker of fine wine has only recently been achieved. It has been an important part of the Turkey Flat range since 1992.
Mark Bulman has made Grenache his signature varietal after taking over full control of winemaking at Turkey Flat in 2010. Under his direction this remains respectful to our past tradition of making Grenache into a fine wine, while moving seamlessly into a more refined, contemporary style.
The 2004 vintage was relatively mild with a few hot bursts early in the season. The Barossa experienced generally dry conditions with a long slow ripening period which was ideal for Grenache, being a late ripening variety.
The 2004 Grenache displays aromas of dark cherry, plum and spice. The palate is full with cherry chocolate and plum flavours, overlain with warmth and peppery spices.
Very much in the lighter Barossa style; sweet, juicy red berry fruits; minimal tannins. Rating: 89 Points. Drink: 2008.
Notions of pepper, herbs, spice, earth, liquorice and sweet cherries emerge from the 2004 Grenache. This medium bodied red is best consumed now. Rating: 89 Points.
